Hi there,

If you want to avoid pregnancy, you need to use contraception throughout your cycle. While you are more likely to fall pregnant if you have sex around the time of ovulation, that date will be different for different women and will depend on your individual cycle.

There are lots of methods of contraception out there that you can get for free from your GP or local sexual health / contraceptive clinic, and if you are under 25 there are specialist clinics for young people and you can find your nearest online here:

We also have a guide to different methods of contraception which might be useful, but your sexual health nurse or your doctor will be able to go through your options with you and help you find the method that is right for you:

I hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Katherine
